I am very much still on an inspiration high after spending the weekend at Pearl Beach on the Central Coast in the company of 8 incredible women. After what felt like a very short breakfast meet-up with some instagram become real life friends a couple of months back, Nia and I decided that we needed to somehow get these ladies under one roof for an entire weekend. Of course, realising we would have all this talent in one place - we planned some mini workshops throughout the weekend to learn some new things from each other.

Chantal showed us how to mould and paint marzipan to create mini fruit. Feeling a tad competitive, I ganged up with Jasmin and Helen to create an edible terrarium.

Speaking of Chantal, she made us some wicked s'mores for dessert on Friday. Homemade marshmallows and all the trimmings including salted caramel sauce, almond chocolate butter, pretzels on a pillowy cookie from Frozen Dough Co.

Of course we got Helen (from this shop) to lead us in making our very own (inedible) terrariums.

And just like that the sun came out and it was our last morning together. As one last hoorah we went for a frolic in the sea air. Goodbyes aren't easy at the best of times but it was extra hard on Sunday. I have so much awe and love for these women that the internet brought into my life and have brought back a little something from each of them. My heart is so full it could burst.
